I'm really dominant right handed in everything. Learning to shoot a rifle left handed was a pain. It's the only thing I do left handed. I still load right handed, and carry the gun right handed. I'll also shoot handguns right handed.

I take that back. I clean my left ear left handed.

You should clean more often.

I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I shoot bows and guns left handed. I can't wink my left eye closed for nothing when shooting a gun.

That's one of the few perks of losing sight in an eye.

I don't have to close an eye.

So , are there more leftys than Muley and Bronco?

Here is a seldom known fact. All babies are born right handed. WHen they commit their first sin they are turned left handed.

i'm a lefty. One of these days i'm going to buy a White with the safety on the left. In 1973 our EOD unit in Korea had 11 lefties in a unit of 19 guys.
